The Burning Bush; Antisemitism and World History

Fontana Press, London, 1989. Edition Unstated. Softcover. Good Condition. Periodically throughout history anti-semitism has exploded to create a constant tension between Jews and the people among whom they to well. Having lost their statehood in Roman times they became dependent upon the hospitality and goodwill of foreign rulers, sometimes generously offered blow frequently snatched away. In our own day the persecution of the Jews has reached its most tragic climax in a holocaust of millions of innocent lives, a crime of such magnitude as to leave Christendom scarred with ineradicable guilt. The Burning Bush breaks new ground in approaching anti-semitism as a problem integral to the evolution of nationhood, from the beginnings of our era until the present day. The author searches out the dynamics of civilisation's development so as to unravel the mystery wherein the Jews became the specific victims of historical forces over which they had no control, and which indeed were outside their own destiny. -- front fold over blurb of the English hardcover.
